Madurai:12.11.2018

The Madurai bench of the Madras high court refused to set aside a 2008 order by a CBI court, convicting a Delhi police official on graft charges after he was caught red-handed while accepting a bribe from a manpower agent in Madurai and dismissed the appeal petition by the policeman.

In 2005, sub-inspector Mandeep Singh had come from Delhi to Madurai after a passenger, Manthakaruppan was detained at Delhi airport with a fake Malaysian visa.

Manthakaruppan led the police to a manpower agent, Manoharan in Madurai and Mandeep Singh along with a constable rushed to Madurai to investigate and round up others involved in the case. During the course of investigation, Mandeep Singh pressurised Manoharan to pay ₹2 lakh to not array him as an accused. He eventually settled for ₹50,000.

However, Manoharan had complained to the CBI and a trap was laid and Mandeep Singh was caught redhanded with chemical smeared currency notes when he took the cash.
